It’s no wonder that worm tub condensers are very much the outliers in the Scotch whisky world, as efficiency became the mantra from the 1960s onwards. They take up more space, they require more maintenance, they can’t condense the same volumes of new-make spirit as modern shell and tube condensers. But for those distilleries that stuck with old-school worm tubs, whisky lovers are rewarded. This cask is a perfect example of why it's all worth it.

Tasting Panel Notes
Divine aromas of marzipan, dark chocolate and apple shisha tobacco combined to form a golden halo above rose petals dipped in allspice and sherry. Then on a throne of leather and polished mahogany sat an apparition of plums, bananas and fudge, sipping sticky dessert wine from a golden grail. A little water beckoned figs and apricots to fall from the heavenly oak tree. Now, raindrops of ginger wine, manuka honey and whisky liqueur splashed on to the pages of antique library books. The everlasting finish was full of splendour; a fusion of quince, coconut and cherry sweets rolled in fragrant hibiscus flowers. After spending 26 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, this was transferred to a first fill American oak PX hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
